Benefits of technology

The invention relates to an improved heat resistance of an exhaust gas guide assembly for a VGS turbocharger. The assembly includes adjustable blades for controlling the flow rate of exhaust gas, a turbine frame for supporting the blades, and an adjusting mechanism for rotating the blades. The assembly is characterized by a heat resisting metal member with a cleanliness level not more than 0.1%, and nonmetallic inclusions in the metal, such as manganese sulfide and silicon oxide, are reduced. The heat resisting metal member is formed with a coating of chromium carbide to further suppress textural embrittlement. The invention aims to increase the output power of the turbocharger at low rotational speeds.

Problems solved by technology

The turbocharger, when the engine is running at a low rotational speed, can not avoid giving a slow-moving feeling caused by the reduced flow rate of the exhaust gas and continued until the exhaust turbine runs efficiently, and necessitating a subsequent time or a so-called turbo-lag before the turbine rapidly reaches the full-running state.
Furthermore, in the case of a diesel engine which runs inherently at low rotational speeds, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to produce an effect of the turbocharger.
However, since the assembly is used under very severe conditions, its life or durability has a certain limit.
However, it is very difficult to obtain a shaped material having a near-net shape for the adjustable blade in a conventional precision casting method or metal injection molding method, and such current techniques have not reached a stage where adjustable blades can be actually mass-produced at a stable and high level.

embodiment 1

[0086]Embodiment 1 is an embodiment in which the presence of nonmetallic matter present in a heat resisting metal member is decreased and the size of nonmetallic matter is reduced. For this purpose, a method or process, such as calcium injection, a heating pressurization treatment, a pure oxygen blowing refining treatment or the like, is applied to the heat resisting metal member. More specifically, the manufacturing procedure is as follows.

(i) Decrease of Nonmetallic Inclusions in the Heat Resisting Metal Member

[0087]Calcium injection during a refining process decreases generation of nonmetallic inclusions, i.e. oxides (type B and type C inclusions) as well as sulfides (type A inclusions) by discharging sulfur, silicon, aluminum and the like as calcium compounds. Furthermore, by a pure oxygen blowing refining treatment, nonmetallic inclusions of type B and type C are decreased by discharging oxides as slag.

(ii) Reduction of the Size of Nonmetallic Inclusions in the Heat resisting M...

[0091]Embodiment 2 is an embodiment in which the heat resisting member (alloy) is manufactured according to the common procedure. Three examples embodied are shown in Table 1.

[0092]The reason for limiting the amount of each component in the alloy is as follows.

[0093]C of not more than 0.05% is to reduce sensitization susceptibility.

[0094]Mn of not less than 1% is to delay generation of a a phase.

[0095]Ni of not less than 15% is to increase free energy for generating the a phase.

[0096]Cr of not more than 30% is to increase free energy for generating the a phase.
